... Not only for spam, but as Ralph already pointed out, also got 
content and guidelines on content, perhaps even layout and linking... 
the editorial team will be responsible for complete editorial process. 
And hopefully there will be enough technical people in the team to also 
be able to help and guide contributors along.

Whatever is the overall policy of the wiki, is what will be the policy 
for the pages included in there. If someone does not want edits being 
made to his/her pages - they can revoke those edits with a reason and if 
the Editorial team think its unfair - they can redo the changes.

Also, I think we are shaving yak's here. There is a functional changelog 
feed that people can subscribe to, and they should.
